Egas José Vieira (1962) - Sin título

Egas José Vieira is co-author, with Manuel Graça Dias, of some of the most discussed public buildings in recent Portuguese architecture, among them the Teatro Azul in Almada, shortlisted for the Mies van der Rohe and Aga Khan awards. He was born in Lisbon in 1962 and graduated in architecture from the Technical University of Lisbon in 1985. In 1990 he founded the practice Contemporânea with Manuel Graça Dias, with buildings in Lisbon, Almada, Porto, Guimarães, Chaves and Seville, among them the Almada Municipal Theatre, the Aljube Museum, the Olive and Olive Oil Museum in Mirandela and the music school in Chaves. In 1999 he and Graça Dias received the AICA Architecture Prize for their body of work. He has taught at the Autonomous University of Lisbon since 1998. His serigraphy is the only negative image in the album: a tangle of white branches, left in reserve on the paper, against a dark violet ground.
